Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak by Rishi Dastidar #nikitagill When poet Jemma LCherry blossom at nightbreak blooms with poems determined to do the generous work of love and hope "using the power of language to make change, express desire, and imagine the world as we'd like it to be." Dastidar's poems, with their deft skill in moving from the surreal to the profound, are a perfect burst of joy in challenging times, effervescent and seriously playful, romancing cityscapes and bursting with wit.
